Help with Header Graphic

I have created my site but I am trying to tweak it. I did have two graphics in the header, side by side, everything was fine. But now I want to replace these 2 with just 1 that stretches from the left all the way to the right. I did this but when I put it in SCDP, the width and height are fine but there is a lot of blank space between the graphic and the start of the main text box, close to twice the width of the graphic.

I tried everything I could in SCDP but I can't get rid of this blank space.

Any ideas??

I swear I should stop working on this thing so late at night!!

I was putting the logo in using the logo insert at the bottom of the properties page. I instead changed to using the header background insert at the top of the properties page. This works much better. There is still a small gap at the top but I guess I can live with that.

Did you try to adjust the margins padding etc. under the header properties, or under the main content section? That's the only way I can see to modify the space.

Steven, you don't need a logo at all, if you use the same work around i suggested to Marilyn, put a narrow strip to match your design in as the logo, (you can just see a blue strip in her header)
Now make your header full width and the height you want, and put it in in one piece as the background

You can use VSD to create the full width header by tacking pictures together infront of a background made the correct size (ie the original header.jpg i sent you) then preview, and do save as and it will join it all together as one .jpg image

I just create a full image in the size of the shop header in photoshop and place it in the header, so no need for logo or titel etc. I just adjust the size of the header in the advanced section of header properties.

Give it a try this might solve your problem.

I have attached an image of a shop I am working on at the moment so you can see what I have done with the header.
